The U.S. Department of Labor is seeking input on ideas for ensuring equity in employment policies and programs for people with disabilities from historically underserved communities.
Share your ideas, review community input, and comment on others' ideas. Your feedback will be used by the department to identify solutions for overcoming barriers to employment for people with disabilities from diverse backgrounds, communities, and identities. It will also inform future programs and funding opportunities that equitably deliver vital employment services and supports to all.
This effort is co-hosted by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs and Women’s Bureau.
